My son just turned four, and a he's little behind the curve. he's had hearing problems, a surgery, and a whole lot of coddling.
I've been trying to do flash cards with him using the disney learning series for ages 3 and up. I've been focusing on colors and shapes because that's where he's lacking.
He'll make an effort on the first two or three. Then he just stares at them blankly, and says "i dunno". He'll say "you do it, mommy". from that point on he has no interest.
I wind up irritated and frustrated. So, rather than get angry, I give up. Then, he wins, and off he goes, doing whatever he pleases. Thus no learning gets done.
How can I get him to engage without tearing my hair out? How can I get him to learn what I'm trying to teach him?
I'm bi-polar, and "regulated" with medication. So, I am prone to get nervous and high strung, even some temper from time to time. Sometimes we both have a hard time focusing too.
We really do need your help.
I will report rudeness
